Fifty of these soldiers were known to have died while at the hospital and were buried at various gravesites around the town. It is unknown if they died of their actual wounds or of smallpox, which was in epidemic in the area at that time. About 10 years later, the bodies were all moved to the Oakwood Cemetary and marked accordingly. The following is a list of those men and the units they were attatched to.
